To you baseball fans out there, happy start of the baseball season. I've been blabbing on about how I'm going to provide baseball links here every once in awhile this year, and while baseball draft season has pretty much come and gone, I do hope some of these sites listed below will be of help during the season. I find many of these sites to be gems when it comes to football and can only assume they do a sterling job with baseball, too:

One of my football faves, Razzball, has a ton of baseball content (in fact, I think that might have been their original sport of discussion? Razzballers, is that true?) and I'm sure this will be a site you visit over and over again as I did during football season.

Finally, a link that came recommended to me by a fantasy baseball aficionado: Last Player Picked for ways to play with stats.

If you've got other suggestions, by all means, leave some links in the comments section.

But in the meantime, I'm going to carry on like nothing is going to change with the 2011 football season, that labor disputes and lockouts do not exist (those who want a season should check out Buffalo Wild Wings' Save Our Season petition via Facebook). Naive, perhaps, but doesn't everyone else here want to be ahead of the curve if/when the season is back on track? So on that note, let's get to some football links:

The Huddle's offseason content is freely available so I like to jump on it and link you over to these guys whenever that happens. Check out Tuvey's 2011 NFL Draft - Player Rankings. At least one of those rookies is going to have an impressive year and you ought to be informed about them for optimal drafting come August/September.

For the real beast of a look at rookies though, look no further than Matt Waldman's Rookie Scouting Portfolio. It isn't free and I don't normally link to pay resources, but this one is worth it if you're the type that really wants to know the rookies or needs a major edge in your dynasty league. Waldman is one of my favorite fantasy football writers (he writes for FootballGuys now) and brings countless hours of review to this massive, 740 page document. Amazing.

CBSSports.com takes a stab at a mock draft - this one is a PPR (points per reception), 14-teamer.

Rotoworld's latest Offseason Low Down went up yesterday with notes from around the NFC North and East.

A couple of items from ProFootballFocus.com, who still wins the award for most offseason content that I've seen anywhere. Loving it. They've got a series of offensive depth chart reviews for each team in the league; this link takes you to my fav team, the Broncos but you can poke around the site from there to find other team write-ups. The other link for you is this piece that takes one approach to determining who the next breakout RB might be - see why you might want to get your Mike Goodson trigger finger ready.

About Me

So why Fantasy Football Librarian? I have been playing fantasy football now for 12 years. I'm also a librarian at a museum in New York City (though my family and I now live in Knoxville, Tennessee) and I love to research stuff. What could be better than combining my love for football and research? So in September 2006, I launched FFLibrarian to try and create one place for fantasy football fans to find the info they need to succeed in their leagues.
From 2007-2013, I conducted an accuracy analysis of the experts' rankings with support from the Fantasy Sports Trade Association, and have written columns for The New York Times' Fifth Down blog and the Bruno Boys.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or suggestions. Here's to the 2016 season!
